Things I would love the american public to hear before November comes

About 10 years ago we jews decided to abandon our war against arab terrorism and engage in a multilateral dialogue of peace , understanding , good will and the EU.
You know what happened.

there were two key phrases used by the supporters of the "peace process" at the time .

1) "the PLO would fight HAMAS with no bullshit"
the assumption was that if Israel would give the PLO land and weapons and money and political support then the interests of the PLO would coincide with israeli interests against it's political rivals. That never happened because the interest of the PLO was to prevent HAMAS attacks on them and NOT in preventing attacks against jews.

It seems that Kerry and a lot of the american left think that if the USA would cozy up to the "axis of weasels" and the 'moderate' muslims it could make them turn their power against the islamists who are obviously their enemies too .
It's the same mistake.
The europeans and the arab rulers interest is in preventing attacks against them and NOT in protecting the USA . So if they believe that turning a blind eye to or even aiding attacks against americans would keep the islamists off their back then no amount of diplomatic rhetoric or economic and military aid would change that .

2)"if this doesn't work we can always take Gaza back"
That never happened also. The assumption was that since the state of Israel is stronger than any combination of arab countries and/or groups it could always force its terms or return to its previous position. This didn't happen not because Israel became weaker or the arabs stronger but because the political will was gone. No politician in Israel who is committed to the use of force against the arabs can get more that 10-20% of the vote even thou polls show that at least 60-70% of the israelis don't believe negotiations with the arabs can lead anywhere . people simply don't vote for radicals who offer the public "blood , toil ,sweat and tears" even when they agree with everything the radicals say. (in the USA it took 9/11 to change US policy and even then it was an executive decision and NOT one put to the popular vote)
Since resolving the conflict by force ( nice euphemism? ) is politically impossible and at the same time has proved itself to be the only realistic possibility Israel is locked into an endless cycle of violence.
Please , Please don't go there.
I could be wrong , my analogy might be off or it could be that the whole jewish/arab peace process imploded because of some detail that escaped me and not because of faulty basic assumptions and so it has no bearing on the war on terrorism . but be aware that if you abandon the bush doctrine it will never be possible to return to it even if it turns out to be the right thing after all and you'll find yourselves , like us, locked into endless ritualistic blood letting in the best Aztec tradition.

Learn from our mistakes , Don't repeat them
no matter how fun they sound
